Windows 10: Windows 10 upgrade

Currently using a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop (yes, it is ancient) with Windows 7 home premium. The laptop runs very well, and both wired (Realtek RTL8101C PCI-E NIC) and wireless (Atheros AR5007EG) connections work perfectly. Recently, Windows 10 was installed using the available update from Microsoft website. The wired and wireless connections do not function anymore. A look at the device manager shows that there is exclamation mark over the wired and wireless drivers. Also, USB ports also have exclamation marks and do not work. External devices (mouse & keyboard) connected to the USB ports do not work. The PCI to PCI bridge where the wired and wireless devices are connected show exclamation marks. Delete the devices and rescan hardware change did not help at all. The devices come back with the exclamation marks. Revert back to Windows 7 and everything works again.


It seems that Windows 10 does not recognize the motherboard Intel chipset. Anyone knows if that Intel chipset Windows 10 upgrade for this laptop is available? I looked around at various Toshiba websites and other device drivers websites, but could not find any upgrades.


Thanks.

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
